Is eero Beacon a range extender?

Nope — eero Beacons, like eeros, are access points on your network.

eero uses TrueMesh, our proprietary mesh solution, to ensure your traffic is always moving efficiently throughout your network. This means your devices stay connected no matter where you are at home while getting the necessary speeds to deliver the same great experience.

Just like eeros, every eero Beacon acts as an access point on your home network. Unlike range extenders, eero and eero Beacons work together allowing your network to stay fast, reliable, and flexible.

This means that eero Beacons can talk with both eeros and eero Beacons. Whereas with a range extender, it can only communicate with your router, making its expandability limited to the range of your router.
